Tribes helping re-establish North America’s largest bird
After decades of planning, the Yurok Tribe was instrumental in releasing two California condors into the skies over the redwoods of Northern California.
The tribe’s chairman says it’s part of the “sacred responsibility to maintain balance in the natural world.”
Other tribes are also working to restore habitat and manage reintroduction of the largest bird in North America.
